Frank Dick OBE

Renowned as one of the best motivational speakers today, his presentations are highly amusing and anecdotal, challenging and inspirational, making uncomfortable listening for anyone prepared to accept second best.

Coaching has been Frank's raison d'etre for decades, inspiring world-beating performances from some of the top names in sport - Daley Thompson, Boris Becker, Gerhard Berger and Katarina Witt. He is currently involved with Denise Lewis, Ronnie Irani, Justin Rose, Marat Safin, Ipswich Town Football Club and Jean Todt (Ferrari Formula One Manager). In business, he has helped develop a coaching culture in British Telecom, Unilever, Shell, Abbey National and Rolls Royce. His expertise derives from years of detailed research into individual success and achievement. He combines this wealth of knowledge and experience into an informative and motivational approach to achieving long-lasting transformation of both individual and team performance.

In 2003 Frank has been recognised for two awards. In recognition of the work he has done to create a coaching culture within the company, Abbey National and Frank jointly received a major training award from the prestigious American Society of Training and Development. He also received the Golden Pin award from the European Athletics Association (EAA) for his outstanding achievements in coaching and development.

As well as his stand-alone presentations, Winning and it's follow-on, The Winning Team Advantage, Frank has developed an exciting new approach to training and development for business through his 'coaching' methods. His interactive breakout sessions build on the general desire for improvement and will inspire people to better business performance.

His two major publications are 'Sports Training Principles' and 'Winning', both classics in their fields.

His contribution to sport and coaching has been recognised in being awarded the OBE in 1989, induction to the UK Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999, and the prestigious title UK Sporting Hero by Sport UK in 2001. Loughborough University has most recently awarded Frank with the honorary degree of Doctor of Technology in recognition of his inspirational effect on athletes to produce world class performances and his outstanding support and contribution to coaching and sport.
